What I thought when I read about all this too.
I wonder if Ajo will give him a second chance... I still remember that rookie race year of his with a white suit and no sponsors and being impressed with him. Hopefully losing it all like this will calm him down.

Rumors that Aki Ajo will do just that, and use his endless supply of Finnish ice to tame the Italian fire.

As long as they don't show the press conference afterwards.

Last racing job offer I saw (long time ago), they were offering about half of market value for the talent they were asking for.
A trifecta; slave hours, slave wages, and living out of a suitcase.

Laverty to WSBK. I mentioned liking him better in WSBK than MotoGP and I'm glad of the jump.
I'm wondering what Bradl/Laverty will do the standings once they get into the mix. Not sure if they can unseat Rea on that Kawasaki but should be good fun. And still waiting for Nicky to get a ride on some decent machinery.

After thinking about Laverty to WSBK, it got me thinking of Spies and wondering what he's been doing. Turned up this series of 4 articles he wrote for Cycle World comparing how a jump from MotoAmerica to WSBK would be. Pretty interesting read and it seems that he thinks the jump now would be much harder than the jump back when he did it.
http://www.cycleworld.com/2016/03/22/so-you-want-to-be-world-champion-motorcycle-racer-part-1-chassis-adjustability-ben-spies

http://www.cycleworld.com/2016/03/25/so-you-want-to-be-world-champion-motorcycle-racer-part-4-racing-tires-ben-spies
And, though this was the first I've heard of it, his wikipedia page says this:
2016
Spies has reportedly offered to be the Yamaha official test rider.
